A bit of a tough question to answer, because I'm 'always birding',
especially if I'm out and about!*
*
One thing I've found about being a birder, which is being observant, is it's
hard to shut it off!*
*But here are my best while out doing something else: *
White-winged Scoter *- while attending a wedding (on the shore of Lake
Superior) Also saw a
*Common Loon* & *Alder
flycatcher*at the same wedding!
*Yellow-headed blackbird *- at a job interview (it was a lifer at the time -
no I didn't get the job)
Yes, I had a lifer during
a job interview!! How many can say that?
*Peregrine Falcon* - twice while at work -once an outdoor picnic, 2nd just
pausing to look out
the window on a break - it flew right in
front of me and looked right at me!
*E. Screech-owl -* one morning at home I heard blue jays making a racket. I
went out to
investigate and this was the cause of their
ruckus, right in my front yard!
